Rob – Rebuilding my Smile

After two weeks with my fab new smile, I feel inspired to share my experience.

From my first meeting and consultation with Andrew Fennell, I felt comfortrouble and at ease, a first for me I’m afraid, previous dentists must have studied at Dewhurst I think, nuff said.

I had a series of missing, loose and broken crowns, and my smile had disappeared and distorted over time. Andrew offered different options to rebuild the smile, we worked out the most cost effective way in my case would be a bridge, great, compared with dentures I was offered everywhere else this was fantastic and I was very happy to start treatment.

Winning Smiles attitude to pain management must be commended! That for me was a very big fear and what kept me away from a dentist for too long. The painless injection system used by Andrew was the most reassuring experience possible, from then on I was happy to go through hours of work and even have a laugh during treatment at times, amazing. Other patients reading this will know what I mean when I talk about the synergy between Andrew and his nurses during treatment, it’s almost like going to a gig with the level of intuition and communication on display, and has changed my mind about dentists forever (well some anyway).

So having also seen Andrew blow a mean blues harmonica, I can understand this better!

The skill and communication on display between Andrew, and the entire team are what makes Winning Smiles brilliant. The atmosphere, the statue, the smiles on the faces of other waiting clients, just make the whole experience really enjoyable.

My smile recommends Winning Smiles to everybody I meet. Thank you all and see you soon no doubt for hygienist and other delights. :)

Diane – Tears…of Joy!

Painless Implants!!!!

As promised at the end of last year…… an update for you all.

My implants (two incisors)were done only a week ago. To my amazement I was grazing away on chip shop food within 2 hours of the operation.

Today I returned to have the stitches removed and a small adjustment made to the temporaries.

I left Andrews surgery almost in tears – OF JOY!!!

I see a very very bright light at the end of the tunnel.

What a team – thank you all.

Keely – Smile Confidence

I came across your website today and thought I must leave you a review. Better late than never, as my cosmetic treatment with Andrew and his team, came to an end back in February 2005. Not only did I pose a challenge cosmetically, but I had a fear of dentists from my schooldays… (we wont go there!) I am very happy with the result….I now smile with confidence for the first time in 30 years, plus I am also over my dentist phobia! If I hadn’t moved over 300 miles to Cornwall you’d have still had to put up with me now! Keep up the good work…..

Diane – Parents Lie!

You may recall my review of 28 August which followed an accident resulting in the loss of my r/h incisor. Well.. get this. Can you remember when you were young and had to have your fist tooth out??? You will probably recall the words “don’t worry my love, it will soon be over and you only have to go through this ONCE”! Well thats not true… As the only person I know that has had the same tooth extracted twice I hope you find the this review both funny and educational.

Shortly after my accident and the extraction of what was remaining of my smashed tooth, a rather unsightly and uncomfortable lump appeared on my upper lip. Everyone I spoke to told me that is was scar tissue! Some eight weeks in, the lump started to cause me significant discomfort and anxiety. I was feeling ‘strange’ and experiencing extreme facial sweats. hmmmm says Diane off to bother my local GP (Dr Kwan) and bore the pants off him with my never ending tooth story and moaning about the lump. I always knew that something wasn’t quite right but when my doctor recommended an x ray and put me on antibiotics I was then convinced that me instincts were correct.

Andrew Fennell to the rescue – he x rayed the soft tissue for me (which for your information Queens Hospital on the night of the accident omitted to do!) and guess what… half of the smashed tooth was embedded in my cheek (upper lip). To Andrew’s credit he arranged to extract the tooth (again) the very same day. He personally performed the surgical procedure with the utmost care and sympathy. I am delighted to report that within hours the swelling had subsided and I was back on solid foods (all be it an indian curry) the very next day.

So that’s the proof – PARENTS LIE.

I consider myself very lucky to have two important men in my life – my GP and dentist. THANK YOU BOTH

For those of you who find this dribble interesting (get a life) but my next update will follow the implant procedure (late Dec/early Jan).

Diana – A real emergency

Sadly I had reason to visit the emergency service provided by winning smiles last Saturday following a serious fall which necessitated removing one of my front teeth. The service and personal care I received was second to none. Very professional and understanding. Today I returned for an assessment and i have to say I was taken back by the expertise and sensitivity to my situation that I received. i will let you know the outcome but at the moment I feel like Winning Smiles have or will shortly restore my character and confidence – something that cannot be bought! thank you.

Angela – A family affair

Just finished eight months of treatment which included 4 implants. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Four out of five members of my family have been treated by either Andrew or Michael all with amazing results.

I would recommend Winning Smiles to anyone.

Ruth – Don’t be scared of sedation!

DON’T BE SCARED OF SEDATION……..IT’S BRILLIANT….TRUST ME!!!

I came in for 4 hours sedation with your FANTASTIC sedationist Doctor Damian. It was recommended as I needed 10 upper crowns and surgery to even up my gum lines. This involved a very lengthy treatment, which thankfully I was not aware of. Amazingly I was told to eat and drink before treatment. The drug process to put me to sleep was not in the least bit traumatic. It only involved a tiny needle, with just one drop at a time of the drug. When I came round, I did not feel unwell in the least (just not quite with it). It was a totally stress free experience, and I recommend it to anyone undergoing lengthy/complex work.
Andrew is also doing a brilliant job, sorting out my general and cosmetic dentistry…..BEFORE AND AFTER his clever Dad Michael straightened them for me with Invisalign.
The girls are all great too, and I am SO lucky to have found the perfect team at Winning Smiles!

What a team

Having this treatment has made an enormous difference to my life. I not only look 100% better I also feel better and I recommend Andrew and his girls without reservation. From my first appointment I felt total confidence in Andrew. I am not normally brave at the dentist but I was not nervous at all even though I had a lot of work done over two months. To have a beautiful smile is better than plastic surgery or Botox whatever your age and I highly recommend Winning Smiles in Harold Wood. Thanks Andrew you are a star.

Trying Invisalign

As a patient who started Invisalign aged 50, I have been wearing my Invisible braces for 9 months so far. My total treatment time is 1 year for the top set, and 2 years for the bottom set. The improvement to date of my dreadfully crooked teeth is just incredible. I won’t pretend it is an easy ride, BUT it is well worth doing if you are as embarrassed as I was about your teeth. I feel positively excited about my future perfect smile. Thanks Michael, (and the girls) for looking after me SO well! Kindest regards from Ruth

It didn’t even hurt!

The treatment went extremely well, and I have no hesitation in recommending Winning-Smiles.
